Ensigns Within the Congregation

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard’s reading, the roaring enemies are not distant battalions but the clamor of fear, doubt, and sense of separation within the mind. The congregations symbolize the bundle of thoughts and beliefs gathered in awareness, while the ensigns are the stubborn signs of limitation that one has accepted as real. The verse invites you to stop fighting the signs and instead to change the state from which they arise. By recognizing that you are the I AM, the one who imagines reality, you can revise the scene from within. Maintain a steady impression of presence, and let the inner chorus dissolve as you hold to the truth of unity with God. True worship, in this light, is the ongoing awareness of your own divinity here and now, a present sanctuary where God dwells regardless of any supposed external roar. When you rest in this consciousness, the outward signs lose their power to disturb the sanctuary of your heart.
